I've had several emails asking how I make my paper bows. So, I decided to do a quick tutorial. These really are quite easy to make!
Supplies: You need 9 strips 6" x 1" of your choice Designer Series Paper
Tape 8 of the strips to make this tear drop loop.
The last strip should be a regular loop.
Over lap the corners and adhere four of the tear drop loops together. To really secure them, add a brad.
Then using Pop Up Glue Dots, layer the two 4 piece tear drops on top of each other and then add the 9th loop. You're done! Now, every gift you wrap can have a hand crafted bow!
Come back tomorrow--the Blogger's Challenge is using Designer Series Paper as the main focus of our cards. And...there's a good reason I am using so much DSP! See you tomorrow for the big news!
Ohhhhh, luv this...and luv your new look! Hugs, G

How very pretty these are. I'm not sure I would go to all the trouble, unless I was giving a gift to another paper crafter (one who could appreciate the effort...lol). It would upset me too much to see one of my family members just wad it up for the trash...teehee
